My washing machine works, however, during the spin cycle water gushes out of the drain pipe and leaves a flood on the floor. What can I do to clear out the drain line? Thank you.

Hi, My husband put the garden hose down the washing machine drain, and turned it on high. This forced the clog out. Loretta

I have had the same problem. I used regular Draino or any other pipe unclogger as I would the kitchen or bathroom sink. Just remember to pour hot water down it!

We had to get a snake to unclog ours. A snake is a coiled wire that will go down the drain and you turn it to loosen the clog. There are two kinds that you can get. One is like a spring and the other is flat. I would get the coiled one. We got one that was over 20 ft for about $20.00 at Lowes.
